Ways to Beat Lockdown Anxiety and Stress

Ways to Beat Lockdown Anxiety and Stress

I don't think I've ever properly suffered with anxiety - stress is more my thing, though I'm sure the two are somehow linked - but the current coronavirus situation is enough to make anyone as tense and panic-ridden as a hedgehog on a highway. So there are a few...

Cinematic Views and a Mouse’s Back

Cinematic Views and a Mouse’s Back

I interrupt the gift guide frenzy to bring you some videos that have somehow slipped the net, here on A Model Recommends. Firstly, this house update and then - perhaps tomorrow if I get a move on - a rambling makeup try-on with a fancy new red lipstick and a chat...

Vlog: It’s Very Stiff

Vlog: It’s Very Stiff

Good God, this is my lowest innuendo-based titling moment yet. I'm afraid that titles have never been my strong point - perhaps I should hire someone who writes catchy titles for a living. Someone with a good grasp of popular key words and most-searched categories and...

Why We’re Building An Extension

Why We’re Building An Extension

Question: is a part of a building still called an extension if there was something there before it? I've been mulling this over because I've been automatically referring to our new dining room as an extension but is it? We've demolished one thing (a weird,...

Vlog: Rain, Rain and Chickenpox

Vlog: Rain, Rain and Chickenpox

I like to throw out a little video of myself now and then, otherwise you're all left to construct a mental image of me from the mad things that I write about like gussets and too-small boilersuits and the restraining order that Tom Hardy took out against me. I'm not...

Dry-Heave Warning: Mummy Goes To Lapland

Dry-Heave Warning: Mummy Goes To Lapland

This video will honestly either make you want to dry heave into a paper bag or fill you with utter joy; it's ever so slightly sentimental andI use my "mummy voice". You have been warned. I went to Lapland on a press trip recently and wanted to film something for Ted...

A Day In The Life In The Country

A Day In The Life In The Country

There's going to be a follow-up video to this video, and it's going to be called Should I Move To The Country? Because I fear that I might have made moving to the country seem like a no-brainer decision in my latest Day In The Life; I feed the chickens as the sun...

A Dog, a Cat and a Brand New Bag

A Dog, a Cat and a Brand New Bag

A brand new vlog to start a brand new year and there's a brand new bag thrown in for good measure. Not literally "thrown" because it's a lovely bag and deserves a bit of respect (also the chain on it weighs a tonne and would probably make a dent in the floor as it...

House Tour and Interiors Update

House Tour and Interiors Update

The one you've all (maybe) been waiting for - the house tour. OK, so it's not a room-by-room reveal of the whole place, MTV Cribs style, but it's as much of a house peek as you're probably going to get. You can always see bits and pieces of the inside of my home on...
